1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
We report the absence of functional parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) receptors (PTH/PTHrP receptor) in Blomstrand chondrodysplasia, a genetic disorder characterized by advanced endochondral bone maturation. Analysis of PTH/PTHrP receptor genomic DNA from a patient with Blomstrand chondrodysplasia demonstrated that the patient was heterozygous for a point mutation (G--> A substitution at...
